To rally the canna-friendly vote against Pete Sessions and raise awareness of the rare chance to win, the makers of General Jeff’s Session Papers are out with a new edition of collectible “trolling papers” just in time for the election.

The target is Texas congressman Pete Sessions(no relation to Jeff). As chairman of the House Rules Committee, Pete Sessions has blocked virtually all new cannabis laws from consideration by the full house since 2016. And there’s good reason to think that will continue if Pete wins another term.

Isn’t this why we have two-year terms? Pete’s already served 11 of them. Enough. It’s time to have a #PeteSesh and send Pete Sessions home in a cloud of smoke.

We hope these packs help you urgently spread the word about Chairman Pete before election day, and get out support for Pete’s challenger, Colin Allred.

Read on for more ways to have a #PeteSesh and contribute to this fight!

What’s Pete’s problem?

What Pete Sessions has that Jeff Sessions doesn’t have is the power to change laws. Very quietly, but with implacable efficiency, Pete Sessions has used his position as the chair of the House Rules Committee to stymie or roll back amendments that protected legal marijuana in the 29 states that have approved it (30 states if you count Louisiana).

"The full U.S. House of Representatives hasn’t voted on any marijuana amendments since 2016, and it’s largely because of one man."Source

On at least 34 occasions, lawmakers—Democrats and Republicans alike—filed marijuana and drug policy reform proposals only to be stymied by the powerful Rules Committee, which decides which measures can advance to the House floor.

"Pete Sessions has made himself the No. 1 target of drug policy reformers in the 2018 general election."Source

In his public statements on the issue, Sessions repeats false claims, like one at an opioid epidemic conference where he says marijuana is “300 times more powerful” today than when he was in high school in 1973 (for this to be true, the cannabis plant would have to contain more than 100 percent THC, a physical impossibility).

"I’m a lifelong Republican and will certainly not be voting for [Sessions] ever again."Source

It is worth noting the observed drop in opioid overdose death rates in states where marijuana use is legal for medicinal purposes. One study found that states with “medical marijuana” laws had a 24.8 percent lower average annual opioid overdose death rate compared to states without similar laws.

If you live in Texas’ 32nd Congressional District

VOTE!!!!!

If you’re a registered voter in this North Dallas district, there’s no better way to have a #PeteSesh than by casting your vote against Pete Sessions on November 6.

If you haven’t made up your mind, there are two other candidates for you to choose from, and both support cannabis law reform. We’re supporting Colin Allred because he has a realistic chance to unseat Pete, but a vote for either challenger counts as a #PeteSesh.
